The MMRC Model


The MMRC Data Bank integrates via one common interface multiple data sources that are fundamental to Consortium research efforts. All data in the MMRC Data Bank are consistently collected and maintained using standardized processes that ensure data integrity.

Custom designed for the MMRC, this state-of-the-art system will enable researchers across multiple laboratories to track data and to perform customized and pre-configured queries on highly-annotated tissue samples, comprehensive clinical data and medical histories, and experimental data generated by MMRC research efforts - functions that are essential to advancing the MMRC's pre-clinical projects, clinical trials, and correlative studies.

Data maintained in the MMRC Data Bank is collected and managed in a manner consistent with all regulatory requirements, including those of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). Additionally, the MMRC Data Bank has been developed to ensure compliance with other federal and international regulations and standards, including 21 CFR Part 11 and the European Data Privacy Directive.
